Our partner, Aksys Games, announced a slew of new games and localisations in the livestream, and our talented video team co-streamed the event with live commentary!
One of the most exciting announcements of the livestream was Tengoku Struggle -Strayside- being localised in the West for the first time. Tengoku Struggle -Strayside- is an otome game, a genre focused on developing romantic connections with the characters, as well as deep, heartfelt storytelling. Originating in Japan, the otome genre has seen a boom in popularity in the West in recent years, and has developed a very dedicated online following.
Through our partnership with Aksys Games, we have brought many otome games to market in Europe through our direct-to-consumer website, and our marketing team has promoted these games to the genre’s ever-growing fanbase through social media and blog posts. Our expanding video team streams many otome titles on our Twitch channel (@reefgameslive), engaging fans of the genre with live playthroughs, otome Q&As and more.
We have distributed two Aksys otome titles in Europe in 2022 (Variable Barricade and Piofiore: Episodio 1926), with two more Aksys otome releases coming up later this year (Paradigm Paradox and Lover Pretend). Over the years, our partnership with Aksys Games has allowed us to become one of the most prevalent distributors of the otome genre in Europe.
